The boats entered into service with the Peruvian Navy in the early 1980s. They were at the TKMS shipyard in Kiel, which was formerly known as Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW).

The Type 209 submarines are available in five variants and are operated by 12 countries. The HDW 209/1200 class submarines are currently in service with Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Indonesia, and South Korea.

The submarines can be deployed to conduct multiple missions ranging from maritime defence to surveillance and intelligence gathering tasks.
